Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 11 11. Birthday Banquet

Feng Jinyao couldn't bear to see her like this, so she opened her mouth to comfort her.

"Okay, it's my grandma's birthday today. I saw that there are pots placed on the waterside pavilion. I guess both male and female guests can show off their talents. You will show your face at that time so that everyone can know that the Wei family has strict rules and regulations, and the Bai family has strict rules.

Not all of them are outstanding people.”

"Really?" Bai Siruo's eyes suddenly brightened, and Feng Jinyao coaxed her like a child, and nodded accordingly.

The two sisters were chatting and laughing, and got quite close to each other. It wasn't until the maid outside said that guests were arriving that they got up and went to greet them.

At this moment, the gate of Baifu was crowded with guests, and horse-drawn carriages stopped one after another on most of Chang'an Street. The vendors outside were busy setting up stalls nearby, with birthday greetings and shouts coming one after another.

Butler Qin of the White Mansion asked the doorman to bring some roasted chestnuts and distribute them to the children who were watching eagerly outside.

After getting the food, the children happily congratulated Mrs. Bai. When Butler Qin looked at her, his usually stern face also became warm.

The backyard was also becoming lively at this moment.

When Mrs. Bai was young, she had two of the best friends in her boudoir. One was the wife of Duke Zheng, and the other was the wife of General Hussar. Now the two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, were chatting with her.

"You are so lucky after all. I heard that your Xiaoqi is also pregnant?"

Mrs. Bai asked Mrs. Zheng Guogong with a happy smile. At their age, what they like to talk about most is the shortcomings of their parents.

When Mrs. Zheng Guogong gave birth to a child in her youth, she was injured due to dystocia, so she only had one son. She originally thought that having an heir would be more difficult, so Mrs. Zheng Guogong specially took in several good concubines, but unexpectedly, Zheng Guogong was a man who loved his wife as much as she loved her.

, he dismissed the concubine at home without saying anything, and just lived with his wife.

After the prince grew up, he married a girl from the Yin family, and his belly seemed to have been opened. One child after another, he gave birth to seven children in a row, four sons and three daughters. All of them were outstanding. Now even the youngest girl has

She was pregnant and the family was very prosperous.

"No, it's just that her fetus is not yet firmly seated. I asked her to rest her head at home so that she wouldn't join in the fun. After she gives birth successfully, I will let her come to greet your sister."

"Children are important. My old lady is in good health. When the time comes, I will have to give my little great-grandson some good gifts."

"Just pamper them."

The two old ladies were chatting lively, but the lady next to them was not very talkative. She just listened to their gossip quietly, with a smile on her lips.

Bai Siruo brought Feng Jinyao here. As soon as he entered the gate of Shoukang Yuan, he happily greeted a woman.

"Mingyue, I'm over here!"

The person called Mingyue is none other than Mr. Xu Ge’s granddaughter, Xu Mingyue.

With eyebrows like a crescent moon, an apricot face and peach cheeks, from a distance, he lives up to his name, as bright as a bright moon, which makes people feel close to him but also afraid of blasphemy.

"This is my cousin from the Feng family. You call her Ayao. Her health was not very good before, so she rarely attended banquets. Today, while there are many people, I will take her out to meet more people."

Bai Siruo introduced from the side, his words a little more intimate.

"Hello, Sister Xu."

"Ayao, you're welcome. This little bully has never introduced a sister to me. It's not easy for you to win her eyes."

Xu Mingyue jokingly said that she and Bai Siruo hit it off instantly and their relationship was not generally good.

Although Xu Mingyue comes from a wealthy family, and the rules in her family are very complicated, she is not a strict girl from an aristocratic family. She is well-controlled and abiding by etiquette. At the same time, she has a cheerful temper and is not restrained or pretentious at all.

When I first met Feng Jinyao, I was attracted by her calm eyes.

Feng Jinyao was also impressed by Xu Mingyue, but more because of the memory of her previous life.

After Xu Mingyue was disowned by the Liang family in her previous life, she didn't seek death or live in mischief. Instead, she went directly to Yunqi Academy and became a wife. There was no need to be inferior to a man. With such a temperament and a pattern, Feng Jin

Yao Da admired him from the bottom of his heart.

After seeing her show of goodwill, he also felt close to her.

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, then they saw a group of people coming in.

The leader is naturally the famous noblewoman Wei Lanxuan in Dongdu City. She has a picturesque look on her face and looks forward to the sky. Her fiery red fox fur cloak makes her even more charming.

Naturally following her were Liang Luo, the legitimate daughter of the minister of Dali Temple who followed her closely, Wen Yuwei, the niece of the Minister of Civil Affairs, and several daughters of minor officials, who appeared in the Shoukang Courtyard like stars holding the moon.

Feng Jinyao had no time to care about what others were doing, but Wen Yuwei looked at her with eyes filled with poison.

After whispering a few words quietly in Wei Lanxuan's ear, the group of people looked towards Feng Jinyao, and their expressions were not very good.

Wei Lanxuan walked towards the three of them with a smile, but when Bai Siruo thought she wanted to say hello, she just nodded slightly and led the group into the main room, leaving the three of them alone.

"What a grand gesture."

Bai Siruo frowned slightly and said, she and Wei Lanxuan's group had never had any bad relations. Normally they would exchange a few words when they met, but what happened today, they didn't say a word.

Xu Mingyue didn't find it strange and whispered to the two of them.

"I heard that Concubine Wei is going to be a matchmaker between her and the Ninth Prince. In the future, the Wei family will have another prince and concubine. This is a great wedding event, and I think the status will be elevated a bit."

No wonder he is so arrogant, it turns out that he is getting married to the royal family again.

The Ninth Prince is the only son of Concubine Wei. Not only has he grown up, but he is also deeply loved by His Majesty. It is said that he also intends to be named a prince. If the news is true, he is the first person among his generation to have this honor. He is even the direct descendant of the Queen.

Even the eldest prince is not as sharp as him.

The Wei family is still extremely powerful and has unlimited honor and favor.

Bai Siruo curled her lips, she had no interest in this.

Instead of seeing those people clinging to the Wei family's dog-face style here, it would be better to go to Qinxiangyuan to guess lantern riddles first.

"Ayao, let's go."

Bai Siruo turned around and saw Feng Jinyao with a thoughtful look on her face. She put her left thumb and index finger on the stove and rubbed it back and forth.

When she just saw Wei Lanxuan and Wen Yuwei standing together, she suddenly thought of something.

She had never understood before that why the Wen family wanted Wen Yuwei to send the jade, and even went so far as to marry their legitimate son Wen Mengsheng.

I'm afraid it's not just as simple as trying to seduce her?

If it was because of the power of the Feng family, then after the two of them got married, the Feng family had already been divided into the Nine Princes Party by outsiders.

What's more, after getting married, she did trouble her father and brothers a lot about her husband's family affairs, and even her grandfather's family was involved.

What happened that made the Wei family and the Wen family willing to cut off an arm of themselves rather than frame the entire Feng family to death?
